Frank Miller is also known for writing ''Film/RoboCop2'' and ''Film/RoboCop3'' (though is at pains to point out both suffered from extensive ExecutiveMeddling). He also co-directed and wrote the film adaptation of ''Film/SinCity''. And he's directed a movie adaptation of ''Film/TheSpirit'', which it may or may not have turned out well, depending on who you ask and whether or not they're fans of the Spirit's comics and Frank (the comics are actually very over-the-top like the movie, though Frank did add some of his signature grittiness). Miller and Tom Wheeler co-wrote the young adult novel ''Cursed'', which was turned into [[Series/{{Cursed}} a Netflix series]] of the same name.

* ''ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}'' - Whatever Frank Miller did for Batman, he did twice over for Daredevil, or so the saying (roughly) goes. Introduced nearly all of the major elements we associate with the character today, apart from the costume, the blindness and [[ArchEnemy Bullseye]], though the latter got some defining moments under his run too. In his run, Miller created ComicBook/{{Elektra}} and the Hand, [[RoguesGalleryTransplant turned former]] ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' villain the Kingpin into Matt Murdock's ArchEnemy, made Catholicism a fundamental part of the character of Matt Murdock, added a bigger focus on martial arts in the combat and brought a noir sensibility to the storytelling that's stayed with the series ever since. See ''ComicBook/DaredevilBornAgain'' for the magnum opus of the run.

He's recently indicated he'd like to [[PlayingAgainstType go against type]] and tackle ComicBook/CaptainAmerica, exploring Cap's idealism contrasted with the dark post-9/11 world. Considering how his previous major use of the character (''ComicBook/DaredevilBornAgain'', ironically enough) had Miller write some of Cap's most memorable moments (and lines, such as the immortal "I'm loyal to nothing, General... except the Dream.")... that might not be too bad of an idea.

*** ''Dark Knight Returns'' was a fairly respectful Superman treatment. Took the view of "Superman is a good guy, but won't step outside the law / civilian authority structures like Batman will". Which isn't too unfair. [[spoiler: Then Superman breaks his ThouShallNotKill rule to kill dirty communists, nearly gets killed by a nuke *even though he's been surviving nukes since ''1947''*, and basically turning Superman into an ''energy vampire''...]]

Despite being himself an atheist, he has [[http://www.adherents.com/lit/comics/comic_book_religion.html#heroes been noted]] as generally writing all religions (except for Islamism) or lack thereof, with as much respect as anything else. Some religious heroes (Comicbook/{{Daredevil}}), some villains (''Comicbook/SinCity''). Daredevil is notable since Miller was the first writer to portray him as overtly Catholic, and made it a major part of his character.
